Welcome to Steindorf

Steindorf STEAM School is a kindergarten through eighth-grade school where high standards and success for all is expected, supported and achieved. Grounded in Project Based Learning and STEAM practices, Steindorf’s program design consistently engages students in the innovation skills of creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication. Through Project Based Learning, students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an engaging and complex problem that features real-world context, tasks or interests. Learning occurs in a safe, comfortable environment where students are known, valued and cared for. Steindorf’s environment allows for all students to achieve in a variety of ways to meet each child’s social and academic goals. Collaboration is evident throughout our school community. Staff, teachers, parents, and students, as well as the broader community, work together to realize the Steindorf vision.

Deborah Stein of Steindorf STEAM School was honored as Cambrian School District's Teacher of the Year at the Santa Clara County Office of Education Teacher of the Year Awards Ceremony held Monday, October 22, 2018. An educator for 13 years in Cambrian School District, Deborah teaches English Language Arts, Social Studies and Leadership for grades 6-8. "Building a community of empathy, trust and high expectations in the classroom unleashes students' confidence and competance to take risks and achieve beyond their wildest dreams," she said. Thank you, Deborah Stein, for your service to Cambrian School District and congratulations on your outstanding achievement!

This week, Sartorette students debuted new work at the Sartorette's annual Art Vistas show, a chance for students to display their best pieces from a year of study and practice under fantastic volunteer art teachers! Click through for a link to the full gallery.

On Thursday, the Board of Trustees and Dr. Andrews recognized the Dawson family for a generous $100,000 donation to Price Middle School in celebration of the life of Betty C. Moates, who lived near the school and took an interest in its students, teachers and programs.

The Board of Trustees and district staff closely involved with the construction of the Bagby Multi-Use Room held a small ribbon cutting last night to commemorate the end of construction on the beautiful new facility!

Price staff and students welcomed visitors for last night's Open House. Part showcase of student accomplishments, part community barbecue, this annual event is a great opportunity for families to reconnect with their children's teachers and marvel at all the growth that can take place in just one year!

Remember Tiffany Barry's choir students, who visited the Cedar Creek Alzheimer's and Dementia Care Home in December? Yesterday, students returned for the final phase of their PBL unit "How Does Music Move You?" The students performed music they had been rehearsing since their last visit based on their interviews about songs that were personally meaningful to the residents.

Spring means blossoms, baseball and vacation time, but for those among us of the geekier persuasion it also means Science Fair season! These celebrations of student discovery are happening throughout the district and last night's fair at Fammatre was a huge success!
